Strengthening Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration through a Globally Integrated Campus – The Case Study of　GIGAKU Techno Park Network in Ho Chi Minh City

Abstract

This article describes the formation and development process of Gigaku Techno Park (GTP) network in Ho Chi Minh City. GTP network accumulates many local campuses located in strategic countries, which are established by Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT) with the aim of promoting industry-academia-government collaboration. Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT) has been selected as a strategic partner focusing on two fundamental goals: (1) International research collaboration and (2) Practical and global engineers education. To support the implementation of the above two goals, HCMUT-NUT office was established at HCMUT in July 2019. The office is a gateway between universities and Vietnamese and Japanese enterprises to implement 3 main tasks: research collaboration, bussiness matching and recruitment. This article will introduce the office's activities, challenges and future cooperation opportunities.
